Grow old with me!

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.
-Johann von Goethe
It's disappointing when I take time away from the computer or books to watch the home-team playing and they give a terrible show. A team that was rated as the best at the start of the tournament having some of the best batsmen in the world is expected to be better than the mediocre if not exceptional. There is something I tell myself whenever I sit in front of the TV: "never get carried away by it". It's good to have a line for everything.

I woke up at 3 pm today. It could have been much later if my father had not knocked the door. I still had a short nap after that and things kept looking dull until I took a bath. The other night I had slept for hardly a couple of hours which had made my head terribly heavy while I was writing the exam. Later in the day I went to check out some offer at Pizza Hut with my friends so had not taken any tryst with sleep till 3:30 am in the morning. Today's sleep gave me the much required respite from staying awake! The offer at the pizza's store was good but it fell heavy on my wallet.

It's not easy to pull out three paragraphs out of a day when nothing much has been done. And more difficult especially when writing all that's in the mind seems to be dangerous and sensitive for those who have a tendency to misunderstand it. It's almost an hour since I started writing for today and I have waited for a big part of it after finishing the first two paragraphs. Things don't seem to come to a finish - some things that are supposed to find an end, not all of the things! And there are those ideas that instill worry - once bitten twice shy, don't want to loose it again, it's never too early or never too late, why not?
